why you know the flop was fake

no one puts there hands up when falling. All people put there hands in front of themselves to protect their face. FAKE FAKE FAKE. I think the refs were in on the fix.

The wimpiest sport of all time

I was listening to Colin Cowherd this morning and he was interviewing Doug McIntyre of ESPN(soccer). If I hear one more time how well conditioned and how tough the game is I am going to puke.
Mcintyre was moaning how tough the game was and in the next match with Portugal that both teams are going to be tired. They have 5 DAYS OFF.

I could possibly understand some fatigue on a match on the third day but i even think you should be fully recovered by the 3rd. day These people are in their twenties.

I always hear how much they run. Bullshit. Watch a game closely. They stand around all the time. When the ball is on one side of the field everyone on the other side of the field are standing around. Midfieleders do run but by large it is short(20 second bursts of speed).

The NBA in the playoffs had a game every other day for 6 weeks. There is hardly any rest. Football plays games all the time 3 days after a Sunday game and talk about taking a pounding. Football is brutal with gigantic sized people causing mayhem.

I am a great believer in conditioning. when I was young i typically played 2 hours of basketball followed by a 5 mile run in 37 minutes with the last 3 being 6 minute miles I followed that with 250 sit ups and 150 push ups.

Even now at 62 I ride 16 miles a day on my bike and I am about to start doing the pushup/situp regimen again.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

Post of the day- Heats Spurs

If Heat fans who leave early donated just one can of food each
we could end world hunger.

I can't take credit for this but I can post it.
